If I want to choose a top 10 American drama in my heart, Good Doctor must be on the list. This is a professional drama, but it is not just a professional drama. I hope all screenwriters can learn something from this drama.
I started watching this drama on a cloudy and rainy day with the smell of pine trees. At first, I only planned to use it as a pastime, because most TV dramas are too entertaining compared to some classic novels, in order to have a plot Conflict, usually very suspended. All beauty, apart from the real background, is nothing, but the good doctor makes me refreshed.
First of all, the protagonist is a medical genius with autism with savant syndrome. If he is an ordinary screenwriter, he will definitely write a lot about his various advantages, far exceeding ordinary people, and make the audience feel very fond and powerful. But that's not the case with The Good Doctor's screenwriter, he doesn't overemphasize it, he focuses on autism. Although the male protagonist has the ability to observe, remember and think beyond ordinary people, the other doctors are also very good. It is not that he is indispensable. On the contrary, he cannot empathize. Interpersonal problems, emotional anxiety and problems, make him often let him Everyone is embarrassed, so he needs everyone's help, and he also needs to change painfully and make progress. Let the audience perceive that although he is a genius, he is also a patient. His perseverance and straightforwardness far exceeded the attraction that a genius can bring to people, giving him another kind of cuteness, allowing him to land and no longer levitate.
Then it is the shaping of the people around him, this group of lovely doctors. At the beginning, you may see their shortcomings, but as the plot develops, you will find that they are all "good doctors", so The reversal is very interesting. It seems that you are really getting to know these people slowly. Like the people around you, they have different personalities and have quite a few minor problems, but those "problems" may also be the advantages, such as our "arrogance" The chief surgeon, his self-confidence is also the source of his strength as an excellent doctor. He is decisive, intelligent, and meticulous.
The truth is not a running account-like narrative, but the enrichment of characters and plots, which requires the main creative team's sincere respect for the work and the audience.
